Hi again, today I really don't feel good today. I just realised after four month that Isa, a friend I made just before chritmas is nothing but a little bitch. It appear that she can say that my best friend for the last 4 years is stupid and she thinks I believ the same. She's alway like, 'look it's your "super" friend.' and 'Well she's just stupid that doesn't count.'

Ok now just forget everything, I'm sooooooo happy, my mom just gave me my contact lense back 5 sec ago, I've been forced to wear my stupid glasses for two weeks now lolll

And there's another flip, now I'm in a bad mood again, she didn't buy the stuff so I can't wear them. oh and I forgot to mention that my crush love someone else.

Chapter sixteen : The truth behind Kaiba.

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" Kaiba asked.

"Well if you don't want to spend the rest of your life in jail and finally free yourself from Gozaburo then you have no other choice." Mokuba said.

"And why would they believe me?"

"Why wouldn't they?"

"You want the reasons in alphabetical order?"

"Seto, can't you just trust them, it's not like they ever did anything to you. What do you have to lose?"

"At this point, nothing I guess."

"Good, then come on."

Kaiba reluctantly followed Mokuba, he wasn't really sure if that was a good idea. Sure, he knew he wasn't going to get out of this all alone but he never ever trusted anyone else then Mokuba in six years, how could that change in one day?

All the gang was talking about nonsense in the game shop, why, because I can't think of anything else and it was too late to be outside, more seriously, they were picking on Joey about his last defeat against Yugi.

"I can't believe that you made it in two tournament, you never win when we're at home."

"Like you ever win." Joey said to Tristan.

"Maybe, but I'm not supposed to be a tournament level duellist."

"It's not like Joey's supposed to either."

"That's right….hey no that's not true." Joey turned around to see who was the one who had the nerve to say such a thing…even if it was true. That person was Mokuba, and Kaiba was with him.

"Mokuba, you're starting to sound way to much like your brother."

"Thanks!" Mokuba said, with a smile.

"I'm not sure you have reason to be happy about it." Kaiba said to his little brother.

"For once I think we agree on something." Joey said under his breath.

Kaiba acted as if he hadn't heard, Joey was right after all and he didn't came here to start a fight.

"What brings you here Kaiba?" Yugi asked.

Kaiba sighed, Mokuba had told him that he was on his own as soon as they get to the game shop, now he had to do this himself. "You offered me you help and… I think I' ready to accept it."

They were all taken aback for a second, well except Yugi. "You mean that you came here to ask for our help?" Joey asked in disbelief.

"Yes." Kaiba said simply.

Yugi smiled. "That's good."

They made there way to the living room, where no one could disturb them. Once everyone was seated Yami was the first one to talk.

"You do know that if you want us to help you'll have to tell us what happened right?"

Kaiba nodded, at least his brother was with him so he wasn't completely alone.

"So, sorry but I have to ask, did you killed Gozaburo." Joey asked, getting looks from everyone, he needed a lesson in tact.

This was it, the moment he had been dreading, so far everything had been going fine but would they still be nice with him after he tell them. "Yes."

Surprise appeared on everyone's face, except for Yami, he always seemed to know everything. "You mean you really did kill him?"

"Joey calm down." Yami said. "Let Kaiba explain himself."

Kaiba did a small sign to Yami, as if to thanks him for giving him a change. "To answer your question, yes I really did kill him, but it was an accident."

"Accident? How can you kill someone by accident?"

"Those kinds of things happen everyday Joey." Kaiba replied, he hadn't realised that he had called him by his first name.

"What happened?" Tea asked.

"All of this happened because I took control of Kaiba Corp., I didn't really wanted that company, in fact I despised it, I always hated war."

"Then why did you take control of the company?" Joey asked.

Kaiba looked down at Mokuba, he smiled when he saw his sleeping figure, he really did miss him a lot. "Gozaburo never wanted Mokuba to begin with, I forced him to take him with us, when I turned 14 Gozaburo said that I was too disobedient and decided to send Mokuba away to teach me a lesson. I couldn't let him do that so I decided to take the company, that way I could became a legal adult and I could keep Mokuba. After I took the most precious thing he had he said that he would make me pay by killing Mokuba."

"So you killed him first." Joey said.

"No I didn't. I took his threat really seriously, me and Mokuba moved in the apartment on the last floor of the building."

"So what happened?"

"One day, about two weeks later, he came at Kaiba Corp."

"Why?" Joey asked.

A small frown appeared on Kaiba's face at the memory. "To kill us."

&&&Flashback&&&

Kaiba was sitting in Gozaburo's office, he didn't like it there but it was the best computer in the building and he had better things to do then moving it to another room, like putting an end to all war machines manufacturing and find a way to make sure that Gozaburo would never come after his brother. He was way too absorbed in his work to see the figure that appeared at the door.

The fact that his soon to be ex step-son didn't realised he was there only angered him even more, then again he was the one who raised him like that but he wanted to see the fear in his eyes when he'll kill him. Gozaburo raised his gun and shot, purposely missing Kaiba's head by one mere inch.

Kaiba's head snapped up and his eyes opened wide at the sound but he was frozen in place as he realised what had just happened, it took his brain a few second to realise that he wasn't hurt, he slowly turned his head to see that the bullet entered the back of his chair only one inch away from his head before crashing in the window behind him.

He looked back in front of him, Gozaburo was now pointing the gun directly at him, he had missed on purpose and Kaiba knew it.

"Get up." Gozaburo shouted.

Having no other option Kaiba did as he was told, Gozaburo had a gun pointed directly at him but he had nothing to protect himself. "What do you want?" He asked, sure it was obvious but any reason was good to gain more time.

"I came hare to get back what rightfully belong to me you ungrateful brat."

Kaiba took a few step back while Gozaburo was getting closer. Think fast. Kaiba told himself, without even thinking Kaiba kicked the chair right at Gozaburo, that didn't really hurt him but that gave Kaiba enough time to take the gun from Gozaburo's hand, not that he really intended to use it.

Gozaburo was well aware of it too. "Like that would make any difference, you don't have the guts to use it." Before Kaiba had any chance to react Gozaburo had grab him by his collar and slammed him in the already weak window, cracking it even more.

The fight did lasted for long, in no time Kaiba ended up on the floor with a gun against his temple. Gozaburo smirked at the fear in Kaiba's eyes. "Don't worry, you won't be alone for long, your brother will join you soon enough."

End flashback

"After that, everything happened so fast, I don't know how I was able to do it but just before he killed me I pushed him away from me by kicking him in the stomach with all I had left. I suppose you can make out the rest." Kaiba said.

"He fell in the window." Yami said.

Kaiba nodded. "The window didn't resist, it shattered and Gozaburo passed right through it."

"But why did you say he committed suicide? Why didn't you say the truth?" Tea asked.

"When I realised that the tape from the security camera was gone I knew no one would believe me, especially not the officer Kamiya."

"What does he have against you anyway?" Joey asked.

"When you take what you want by anything meant necessary you need to have influencing people by your side, who better then the police's chief to make sure you never get in trouble with law."

"So Gozaburo was paying him so he would never get accused of anything." Yami said.

"When Gozaburo died he lost important amount of money, I never paid him anything."

"But how are we supposed to prove you are innocent, you said yourself that there wasn't any copy of the tape."

"There is copy, unfortunately not before a month after his death."

"I guess we'll just have to find another way." Yami said

Kaiba closed his eyes, he had to find a way to make people believe him but the tape was gone. That creepy little butler, he's the one who took the tape, he was the only one beside Gozaburo and me that had access to this room.

But that doesn't help me, no one will believe me without a copy of it. Kaiba kept thinking for a while until something he had completely forgotten until then resurfaced in his mind. What if…

"I think I have an idea." Kaiba said. "I'm not sure about it but it's worth to try."

While they made their way to Kaiba Corp. Kaiba explained everything to them.

"So, what exactly are we searching for?" Yami asked.

"When I was trying to get Kaiba Corp. I created something to spy on him, to make sure that he didn't know anything and to always be a step forward, with everything that happened after that I completely forgot it was here, and since all of this happened in Gozaburo's office there is a small chance that it filmed everything."

"That's great." Mokuba said.

"Don't get your hope too high Mokuba, chances are that it's not there anymore."

"So, where is it?" Joey asked when they entered the office.

"I have no idea, it's programmed to activate by movement, it had the possibility to move on it's own to get a better view or hide itself, in other words it has an intelligence of it's own so it could be anywhere."

After 15 minutes of intense searching Joey decided to climb on the bookshelf to have a better view of the room, stupid isn't it? Well the point is, he ended up in front of a rather strange looking bug with big antenna.

"What th- ahhhhhh!" Joey was so surprised that he let go of the bookshelf and fell down, right on Tristan.

"Hey watch it man."

"Hey it's not my fault, there a big disgusting bug up there."

"You mean this?" Yami asked, showing a little metallic bug, a little bigger then a bee.

"Yea that one."

Yami handed the bug to Kaiba. "Is that what we are searching for?"

Kaiba took the bug and smirked as he looked at it more carefully. "That's one of my little spying bug."

"It's so little." Joey said. "Are you sure this thing really is intelligent because it didn't really hid itself from me."

"The battery's dead."

"And how does this thing work?" Joey asked.

"Well we need the program to read it, it's in one of the computer at my house."

All of them were now heading toward the mansion, Kaiba stayed a little back with Mokuba for two main reason. One, because Mokuba walked slower then the other and two because they were talking about thing that weren't really the other's business. Joey looked back over his shoulder, this was just as good time as any to ask.

Joey stopped walking until the Kaibas caught up with him, which wasn't long since they were only a few meters behind. "Hey Mokuba, you mind letting me alone with your brother?"

Mokuba looked at Kaiba with a questioning look, when Kaiba nodded he ran to catch up with the other. Kaiba turned toward Joey with a questioning look.

"I want to know, did you ask for our help only not to end up in jail?"

Kaiba looked back in front of him. "Do you remember what I asked you when I was still a kid, about when I'll be normal again?"

"You mean when you asked if we would still be friends?"

Kaiba nodded. "I asked you this question because Mokuba told me how I acted toward you. I never had any friends before, so when I was still a kid I convinced myself that I didn't need any."

"Why is that?"

"Call it self defence, as long as I thought that I didn't need something then I wouldn't suffer about not having it. When I asked you the question you said that it only depended on me but I lived like that all my life so it's hard for me to change."

"And what makes you change your mind."

"A horned angel." Kaiba said, looking at his little brother, that was the name he had given him. Joey followed Kaiba's look and understood. "He told me something, the day that I became normal again, all this time when I stayed alone in my room I thought about what he told me and I realised how much I was missing because of my fear of getting hurt."

"Well, I'm glad that you changed you mind, now come on." Joey said as he caught up with the other. Kaibe just shrugged his shoulder before doing the same.
